Arabic Lessons in Cambridge
Get Started and Learn Arabic
Britain and the Arab world have been conducting business since medieval times and through to the modern era, practically without interruption. For example, during the 1950s and 1960s, migration to Britain increased as the Arab world struggled to emerge from the era of colonialism, and many of these new arrivals settled in Cambridge: as a university city, it especially attracted families who wanted their children to get a world-class education. In 2011, the National Association of British Arabs estimated that there are around half a million people living in the UK whose first language is Arabic, and almost 1,000 of them live in Cambridge. Most come from Somalia, Iraq, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Morocco, meaning that studying Modern Standard Arabic will allow you to explore an array of cultures and help you connect with these ethnic groups on a whole new level.

Why Study Arabic in Cambridge
Learn Arabic for Work and Studies: Learning Arabic will help you advance your career in Cambridge. If you specialise in the area of technology, you will find plenty of job opportunities in the region called Silicon Fen. For example, Allen Hamilton, TribePost and Abbexa Ltd are always looking for Arabic bilingual speakers to communicate with their clients in the Middle East. Sign up for an Arabic course and you will be at an advantage over other applicants who only speak English! And if you are not looking for a job but would like to study instead, you will be happy to know that Cambridge University offers many suitable courses and opportunities for research. For instance, if you decide to enrol in their Middle Eastern Studies programme, you will gain access to one of the world's great languages through the study of its culture and history. You will even have the option of studying Arabic on its own or in combination with Hebrew, Persian or a modern European language. This institution asks future candidates to have at least a basic level of Arabic before starting the programme, so get in touch with Language Trainers about our Exam Preparation Course to learn how we can help prepare you.
Learn Arabic for Culture: Beyond working and studying, Cambridge also has a lot of opportunities for you to experience Arab cultures. For example, you can join the Cambridge University Arab Society’s weekly Tea and Coffee event, where you can enjoy a chill evening of music, mint tea, and Arab desserts, such as homemade knaffeh and basboose. And if you are interested in Arab art, you can take part in the annual Ahbab Festival, a platform for engaging with music, arts and creativity from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The festival started in 2016 as a two-day celebration of Arab cinema and music at Cambridge Junction. Every year, amazing singers come from Egypt and Morocco to share their talents, and after a few lessons with us, we are sure you will be able to understand the meaning of the lyrics without to the need of an English translation!
Learn Arabic for Social: If you would like to meet like-minded people with an interest in Arabic in the city, you can join the Cambridge University Arab Society. This is a cultural, non-political university society that aims at bringing together young Arab and non-Arab people and to give insights into Arab culture, traditions, history, and to discuss Arab affairs. It is open to people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, races and beliefs, so don’t hesitate to join them if you would like to learn more about this ancient culture while putting your new Arabic skills to use in a relaxed environment. Another option is to join one of the meet-up groups, such as Cambridge International Friends. This group was founded with the objective of encouraging friendships between people from all over the world. Today, it has almost 4,000 members, so you will surely find some new friends with an interest in the Arabic language.
